We give a voice to those on the streets. As a monthly street paper, One Step Away advocates for social justice in our Philadelphia community and around the world.

You Don’t Know?

That’s ok. Sometimes our vendors get a bit outspoken or drown out in the noise of our urban Philly streets – but they’re increasingly becoming a prominent voice for local information. As an outlet, One Step Away is dedicated to doing its part in making our city and world a better place for everyone. Join us. Buy a paper. Support a neighbor.

Our Latest Issue – February 2018

In One Step Away’s current issue we shared The Contributor’s (Nashville, TN) coverage on the Women’s March “Why we Marched – One Year Later”, featuring interviews with women at the marches, how to get involved, and a timeline of accomplishments over the year. We also showcase the International Street Paper Network in honor of #VendorWeek, with vendors from Australia, Denmark, Greece, Taiwan, the UK, and Chicago, USA. A personal narrative by Ted Goldman of Tgoldmanphotography.com, “Looking for William”, shares how easily those living on the streets can disappear – sharing his story interviewing a One Step Away vendor. Finally, we say thank you to Portland, OR’s Street Roots Director Israel Bayer, after 15 years of advocacy for the homeless.
